Removing

To prevent pressure plate torsion on removal (causes clutch grab when driving off), the following procedure is always to be employed when unscrewing pressure plate:

• ‒ Consecutively slacken off all 6 bolts in clockwise direction in 90°
  (1/4 turn) stages until pressure plate is released.

Installing

Note:

• ◆ Checking SAC pressure plate for torsion prior to renewed installation , Fig.2
• ◆ Adjuster ring of SAC pressure plate must be turned back prior to assembly if only clutch plate is replaced => Page 30-58 onwards.

• ‒ Installation position of clutch plate: Dampers (coil springs) or "gearbox end" label must face pressure plate or gearbox.

• ‒ → Re-position counterhold 10-201 or 3067 on removal.
• ‒ Use guide mandrel 3176 to centre clutch plate.

To prevent pressure plate torsion on installation (causes clutch grab when driving off), the following procedure is always to be employed when fitting pressure plate:

• ‒ Position pressure plate on fitted pins.
• ‒ Screw in all 6 bolts evenly by hand until bolt head makes contact with pressure plate.
• ‒ Consecutively tighten all 6 bolts in clockwise direction in 90°
  (1/4 turn) stages until housing makes contact with flywheel.
• ‒ Consecutively finish-tighten (22 Nm) all 6 bolts in clockwise direction.
